I'll leave it for now, getting correct transfers won't be easy now that Mr Bailey has retired.
Pictures tomorrow of new stock.

After seeing the doctor yesterday I now have the boot off and able to shuffle around! Back to gym and Taekwondo in 4-6 weeks apparently?!?!

Haven't you learned that physical exercise is bad for your health? I'm sure paper folding can be done in the comfort of your own armchair!!! Tenth 'Dan' can even be achieved lying in bed!

In all fairness, I've never been trampolining before and it was my housemates idea! Been doing Taekwondo for almost 3 years now and I've never hurt myself properly, or been hurt through sparring.
Unfortunately even though I don't drink, others do and just going to a pub/bar with my mates usually results in somebody wanting to pick a fight (I'm 6'7" and 90kg so it's fair enough). Fortunately all martial arts teach self discipline and control so I can always calm the drunks down, never had to use it for self defence.

It's just amazing how little information is available from our discussions online. The image we get from small talk shows nothing of the individual.
I think I now have a greater respect for your hobby activity which you somehow manage to balance with your social life amongst people who can see you as a threat simply because of your appearance. I still have a problem with so called 'healthy exercise' though.

That slatted seating in the Gladstone and the lettering on both coaches look spot-on!

That's exactly how popular forums such as Reddit and 4chan work. It allows people to express opinions without being judged, that's why everyone who posts on 4chan is shown as "anonymous" (that's where it comes from). Unfortunately it does allow the rather extremist views some people have to run rampant, although some lesser used forums remain relatively civilised (some joking is always required).
Anyways back to trains! The slatted seats were slow but straight forward. Just needed glue and tweezers.

Blimey ....... maybe I don't go to those sorts of pubs, but I can't understand why being 6'7" and 90kg means it's fair enough to pick a fight with you. I must have had a very sheltered upbringing.

PS -I do Tai Chi. I somehow don't think that a "Repulse Monkey" or an "Embrace the tiger and push the mountain" move will help keep me out of trouble.
